Nightwatcher Chapter 192: Xu 7an: 2 Lang, eldest brother teaches you fish farming routines

The foster father first proposed to fight the Witch God Sect, and it was Xu Qi'an who died in Yunzhou.

Nangong Qianrou guessed that the mood of the adoptive father at the time was both the pain of a broken heart and the thought that the Witch God Sect had grown too fast and needed to be suppressed.

Later, Xu Qi'an returned to Beijing to resurrect, and the Sorcerer Cult had always kept himself safe. In that case, there was no need to fight.

For the Sorcerer Sect, it only needs to be suppressed.

What the foster father meant, this is going to start a huge national war.

"Foster father, would it be too radical?" Nangong Qianrou said straightforwardly.

Now that Dafeng’s national power is weak, a large-scale, several-year national war is an unbearable burden.

"Yang Yan sent back an urgent report from the north, and the witch gods attacked the northern monsters. The candle nine single tree was difficult to support, and he withdrew from the original territory, bringing the monsters and the barbarians to join forces, preparing to retreat to the northwest."

Wei Yuan lowered his head to study the map, his tone was flat: "Although Duke Huai's plan failed, the goal of the Witch God Sect was achieved. The death of any one of Zhu Jiu and Ji Li Zhigu will plunge the northern monster into unprecedented Weakness.

"But Chuzhou also suffered heavy losses, lost a third-rank, and was unable to march north, so it was in vain for the shamanism."

Nangong Qianrou was startled and suddenly realized: "So, the foster father doesn't care about the court affairs, because your majesty is very likely to send you to the north?"

At the same time, he speculated in his mind that his Majesty's suppression of Wang Shoufu at this time seemed to be disregarding balance, but in fact it was precisely the way to balance.

Without Wei Yuan in the court, isn't it just Wang Shoufu's family?

"Even if the foster father is not in the court, but it is still far from the autumn queen, why not take advantage of this crisis of the royal party to take advantage of this crisis, and there will be no worries about going out in the future."

Nangong Qianrou put forward her opinion.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Do you think it is better for the royal party to fail, or not to fail?"

Nangong Qianrou said without hesitation: "It's the best thing."

Wei Yuan nodded: "Yes, it’s best to fall, but it’s also good not to fall. If it’s not for war, I will fall into trouble. Once Wang Zhenwen falls, I have at least five years to do things. Your Majesty wants to support a new party with me. Being an enemy is not going to happen overnight.

"In this situation, if the royal party does not fall, there are advantages. Wang Zhenwen and I have been fighting for so many years, and I know the roots. A familiar opponent in the court is better than an unfamiliar passerby."

At this time, the staff member came to report and said respectfully: "Wei Gong, Wu Yingdian University Scholar Qian Qingshu, please see me."

Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's confidant.........Nangong Qianrou looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan waved his hand: "No, let him go back."

The official bowed and saluted: "Yes."

"Foster father?" Nangong Qian said softly. In the end, did the foster father choose to sit on the sidelines.

"It's boring if I shoot."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "This favor should be reserved for the right person."

Nangong Qianrou didn't understand, but didn't ask. He got used to the language style of his adoptive father after getting along for so many years.

"You go out first." Wei Yuan said suddenly.

After Nangong Qianrou left, he took out a few envelopes, picked up a pen, and wrote.

............

Imperial Palace, in Jingxiu Palace.

His Royal Highness was eating iced plums with a basin of ice cubes at his feet, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the maid, but his expression was not at all relaxed, and said:

"I persuaded Wang Shoufu that day, not to compete with his father, not to be with Wei Yuan, he would not listen. Now it is good, the father wants to fix him."

The crown prince and Wang Shoufu do not have much overlap, but in the royal party, many people are steadfast princelings.

If Wang Zhenwen falls, these people will also be implicated, weakening the prince’s influence in the court in a disguised form.

Concubine Chen and Lin'an were watching, both of them were a little worried. Since the year of Jingchao, the position of the prince has been swaying left and right.

Chen Fei frowned and said: "What kind of attitude is Wei Yuan over there."

The prince said solemnly: "Qian Qingshu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, visited Wei Yuan this morning, but no one was seen."

Concubine Chen looked sad: "Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are political enemies, I'm afraid they are just waiting to get down."

The prince looked at his sister and said: "Lin'an, isn't Xu Qi'an your confidant? He is a person Wei Yuan relies on. Why not try to break through from him?"

Lin'an sits on the floppy, red and gorgeous long skirt is complicated and gorgeous, wearing a golden hair crown, round goose-egg face is graceful, peach-like eyes are charming and watery.

In silence, she is like a delicate and flawless jade beauty.

"He hasn't come to me for a long time..."

Lin'an looked sad, and said in a low voice.

After the Chuzhou Massacre case, more than half a month passed. Xu Ningyan never found her. Lin'an didn't say anything, but she always felt that Xu Ningyan completely disgusted the royal family because of that incident.

I hate her even with me, so I deliberately alienate myself.

Lin'an feels sorrow and grief when thinking of their previous happy times.

"It's simple. You quietly send someone to Xu Mansion to deliver a letter and invite him to meet. If he agrees, it means that his mind is still with you." The prince smiled.

Chen Fei added: "Remember to be secretive, let the servants of Lin'an Mansion do it, don't send guards in the palace. Don't let your father know that you have any dealings with Xu Qi'an."

Lin'an clicked his head hard, with an expression of anxiety and expectation on his face: "I will let people do it."

............

During lunch, Zuo Du Yushi Yuan Xiong and War Department assistant Qin Yuandao entered a restaurant in the inner city.

There are also several officials from the same camp.

There is a one-hour break for lunch. The dining hall in the Yamen of the capital is notoriously unpalatable. It is not as clear as the soup, but don't think about the big fish and the meat.

Except for the low-level officials who dine in the cafeteria, the senior officials all go to the restaurant.

Yuan Xiong raised his teacup and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shi Lang Qin, I hope to join the cabinet."

Qin Yuandao responded with a toast, saying: "Master Yuan monopolizing the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just around the corner. By then, don't forget to take care of me and wait."

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has great power and has the responsibility to monitor hundreds of officials. Yuan Xiong always wanted to take control of the court and kick out Wei Yuan's party members.

Because Qin Yuandao didn't have the hope of being a scholar in the War Department, he wanted to find another way to join the cabinet.

The two conspired the imperial examination fraud case together, but it failed in the end and is now making a comeback. The difference from the last time is that at that time, His Majesty was sitting on the sidelines, but this time he supported him.

"Wang Zhenwen would have to hurt his muscles even if he didn't fall this time. He controlled the cabinet for many years. He had previously relied on him to check and balance Wei Yuan. Now, His Majesty intends to let Wei Yuan serve as the general soldier of Chuzhou and go to Chuzhou. Then Wang Zhenwen has to move."

"And I heard that Qian Qingshu visited Wei Yuan this morning and had a closed door."

"If it weren't for the little bit of Xu last time, our position would have been moved." Qin Yuandao gritted his teeth.

An official toasted and said with a smile: "Qin Shilang doesn't need to be angry, that Xu Qi'an can't protect himself. He offends your majesty, and sooner or later he will be liquidated. First he beats the big one, then cleans up the small. He is not far from death. "

"Drink and drink."

Push the cup and change it, chatting and laughing.

............

"Da Lang, someone sent you a letter outside."

In the front hall, Mr. Zhang, the concierge, presented a secret letter.

Xu Qi'an, who was kicking Xu Lingyin as a shuttlecock, put down Yaomei, and while reaching out to receive the letter, he asked: "Who sent the letter?"

Lao Zhang, the concierge, shook his head: "The man was outside, and he didn't say who would deliver it for. He also said he was waiting for your reply."

"Brother, keep playing!"

Xu Lingyin has enjoyed the feeling of flying, and is no longer willing to be a stupid child living on the ground.

Hugging Xu Qi'an's legs like an octopus, life and death.

Xu Qi'an kicked, but didn't fly, and said that the stupid kid was getting stronger.

"Peace!"

He shouted.

There was a whistling sound, and the Taiping sword flew out of the room, hanging in front of Xu Qi'an with the sword and sheath.

Xu Lingyin was stunned, with a small face held up and a stupid look.

Xu Qi'an picked her up, let her ride a peace sword like a witch riding a magic broomstick, and then patted Xu Lingyin's little **** egg, loudly:

"Go, magical girl Xiaodouding!"

The Taiping Dao took her out of the front hall, and Xiaodouding's heartless laughter came from the air.

Xu Qi'an began to read the letter paper. The letter was sent from Lin'an. It described the situation of the court and the court in recent days, and asked if he could invite him to explore Wei Yuan's tone.

It’s not like Lin’an’s style. It’s the Concubine Chen or the prince instigating...I remember that Wei Gong said that there are many prince’s supporters in the royal party. I haven't visited Lin'an since I have been with two national dukes.

Hey, the main thing is that there are too many things, one by one, neglecting her...

Lin'an is different from Huaiqing. Huaiqing does not need to coax, but Lin'an is a girl who wants to be with her.

"If you ask him to tell the master, I just say I know."

Xu Qi'an sent Lao Zhang away from the concierge and sat at the round table, recalling what Wei Yuan said this morning:

I don't care about this.

Yesterday, Xu Erlang went back to the mansion and told him about the court affairs. Xu Qi'an kept an eye on him. This morning, he went to the government office to find Wei Yuan and find out that this is not an ordinary fight.

Emperor Yuan Jing wants to move the head of the king.

"For me, it was actually an opportunity. Although Jiro and Miss Wang were eyeing, they did not enter Wang Shoufu’s sight. Moreover, because of his identity as a student of Yunlu Academy, and for my sake, it is difficult for him to go further in officialdom. Unless you take refuge in Wang Shoufu.

"But Wang Shoufu was born in the Imperial College, and he was born to resist the students of Yunlu Academy. Now, isn't it just an opportunity. I have many officials and Cao Guogong's criminal evidence of corruption and perverting the law. These political bargaining chips were originally part of Wei Gong and part of it. Erlang.

"Isn't it just useful now, and if I can reap the favor of Wang Shoufu, it will be of great help to me to check Yuanjing Emperor. I just want to enter the official department to check the file.

"I have confessed Cao Guogong's secret letter to Wei Gong, and he said that he doesn't care about it. The implication is already obvious. Wei Gong seems to be relatively negative about the court affairs recently? What is he planning?"

Xu Erlang went back to the house for dinner with a frustrated expression. Just after walking through the front yard, he saw Yaomei riding on a knife, circling and dancing in the small courtyard, and laughed at the sound of pigs.

Niang and Lingyue watched worryingly underneath, screaming from time to time, and saying in multiples: Be careful, be careful!

The aunt said angrily: "Xu Ningyan, hurry up and let your broken knife get off. If Lingyin hurts, let's see how my old lady teaches you."

The aunt pinched her waist, stood in the yard, and shouted toward the front hall.

"Mother, how can a knife fly?" Xu Lingyue was a little surprised and a little scared.

"Who knows, your eldest brother used the magic trick." Aunt said.

The two mothers had seen Li Miaozhen walking up and down with flying swords, just as it was no big deal, but when Xu Erlang saw this scene, the whole person was stunned and stunned.

"Absolutely, Peerless Soldier..." Xu Erlang murmured.

At this moment, Xu Qi'an came out from the front hall and greeted: "Peace, come down."

The peace knife lowered its height, hovering motionless, the aunt immediately snatched the baby girl over and screamed: "What a broken knife."

After speaking, she saw Xu Xinnian three steps and two steps, stopped in front of the Taiping knife, her eyes stretched out her hand straight, as if she wanted to hold the knife, but she didn't dare, she was extremely excited.

As a scholar from the orthodox system of Confucianism, Xu Erlang has a natural knowledge of peerless soldiers.

Seeing his son's attitude, my aunt said suspiciously: "Jiro, what's wrong with this knife?"

Xu Erlang murmured: "This knife is rare in the world and invaluable. No, this is a priceless treasure."

A priceless treasure? ! The aunt was heartbroken, looked at the peace knife in surprise, and tentatively said: "How much is it worth?"

Auntie needs a specific number to measure its value.

"Let's put it this way, if the eldest brother takes it to exchange the title, at least it can be exchanged for the earl, and it is possible to change the marquis."

The Marquis is second only to the Duke, and the Duke of Dafeng is almost the pinnacle of the title of the opposite sex.

My aunt opened her small mouth, and when she looked at the Taiping Sword, she was like her son, no, it was hotter than her son.

"I still want to play." Xu Lingyin climbed up the peace sword.

"Go, die boy, such a precious thing, I broke my old lady and killed you." The aunt slapped the little beanie.

Xu Qi'an smiled at this scene and shouted: "Erlang, come in, I have something to tell you."

Xu Erlang entered the front hall and sat on the table. Then, his sight was attracted by the pile of secret letters placed on the table. It was not the secret letter sent by Lin'an, but the secret found in Cao Guogong’s private house. letter.

"I already know what happened to Wang Shoufu, Erlang, if you have the ability to help him tide over the difficulties, will you help him, or just look on the sidelines?"

After hearing this, Xu Xinnian frowned slightly and said calmly: "I am worried about yearning, but I don't feel much feeling or anxiety about Wang Shoufu's experience. And if there is no yearning, I will probably talk to my eldest brother now."

Da Feng is a good son-in-law...Xu Qi'an vomited in his heart and smiled: "But if you can help, I believe Wang Shoufu will be willing to accept you, at least, not against you."

Speaking, he pointed to the secret letter on the table.

With doubts, Xu Erlang opened the secret letter and read them one by one. First, his pupils shrank slightly, showing a look of shock, and then excited, his hands trembling slightly.

If these secret letters fall into the hands of capable people, they will become a weapon in their hands. So, I don’t know how many Beijing officials will be guilty of this, and the entire capital officialdom will usher in a major earthquake.

Of course, there is another possibility that all these secret letters will be destroyed because too many people are involved.

"I can only give you a small part of these secret letters. We need to select a few people who are useful to Wang Shoufu." Xu Qi'an laid out the secret letters one by one.

The so-called useful person cannot be a kingly party, or Yuan Xiong's first-rate. The latter is backed by the emperor, and these secret letters cannot have a fatal effect on them, at least in the current situation, they cannot be killed in one shot.

Soon, the brothers singled out eight characters. It is not only a high position, but not the first two.

"After the value is scattered, you go to the palace and hand over these secret letters to Wang Shoufu. Remember, you must first go to Miss Wang and be recommended by her."

The eldest brother meant that I should hint to Wang Shoufu about my relationship with Si Mu.........Xu Xinnian gave an "um" sound. As soon as he put up the secret letter, he saw the eldest brother lift up his sleeves.

"Big brother, what is this going to do?"

"Beat you!"

Boom!

Xu Erlang's handsome face was punched and he fell screaming, Xu Dalang rode up and bowed left and right.

"Brother, don't slap your face..." Xu Erlang screamed.

"If you don't slap your face, how can you show your sacrifice? How can you move Miss Wang's family. In order to save Lao Zhangren, you don't hesitate to fight against your eldest brother."

"Well, is this a bit despicable?"

"This is not despicable, this is a routine. Come on, take a good pose, and elder brother will punch a few more punches."

.............

Gyeongsu Palace.

There was soon news from Lin'an Mansion. There was no reply, only one sentence: I understand.

The prince glanced at Lin'an, touched his nose, and said with emotion: "It seems that I can’t count on it, but it’s true. I’m not an official. Knowing that I angered my father, I didn’t bother to manage the relationship between our brothers and sisters. Slightly."

Lin'an was flushed with his eyes.

Chen Fei frowned and reprimanded: "Let's say a few words, it's normal if he doesn't help. If Wei Yuan depends on him, he can listen to him?"

The prince said helplessly: "I know, but his attitude is unpleasant."

Lin'an pressed her lips tightly, and said dullly: "I'm back to Shaoyin Palace."

............

Royal Palace.

In the inner hall, the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Wang Simu sat with Mrs. Wang, chatting softly, trying to relieve his mother's anxiety.

The eldest son of the Wang family who works at the Ministry of Households drank tea without saying a word, while the second son of the business prince was impatient and wandered around the hall.

"Brother, I heard from my familiar friends that your Majesty is going to kill our Wang family this time?" The Second Prince Wang said as he walked, his tone was quick.

Madam Wang's eyes are more worried, and she looks at the eldest son with a verifying look.

Prince Wang put down his teacup, his voice calm: "It's a little troublesome. Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao have listed a lot of criminal evidence. One of the most troublesome is embezzling military pay.

"Remember Zhou Xianping, the former servant of the Ministry of Households. He was his father's, and he did steal his military salary. When he ransacked his house, Zhou's mansion was only a few thousand taels. Where did the silver go? All said it was in our Wang's house." /

"It's nonsense." The second son of Wang gritted his teeth angrily.

Prince Wang pinched his eyebrows and sighed tiredly:

"In the past, my father, Jane, was in the heart of the emperor, and he was fine. During the Chuzhou Massacre case, my father had offended His Majesty too harshly. This is the crux of the problem."

Mrs. Wang worriedly said: "How should this be good, how is this good."

Wang Simu hurriedly comforted his mother, then frowned:

"You two say a few words, if you can't think of a countermeasure, don't pour bitterness here. What else is there besides adding mother's worries?"

She then comforted her mother and said softly: "Daddy has been the first assistant for more than ten years. He has never seen any big winds and waves. He knows it. Didn't this have been discussed with uncles in the study."

The Prince Wang glanced at his sister and shook his head. Although there was a crisis before, but it has never been as dangerous as this time. Fighting against political enemies and fighting against your Majesty is the same thing?

While talking, the housekeeper hurried to report, glanced at the people in the hall, and looked at Wang Simu: "Miss, Master Xu is outside, I want to see you."

The second brother Wang sneered and said: "When is there any gossip about love?"

Mrs. Wang and Prince Wang frowned.

Then Xu Erlang and his daughter came close. They knew that Wang Simu had a very strong personality and brilliant intelligence. No one except Wang Zhenwen could control him in the family.

So I closed my eyes and let her go.

But now that the Wang family is in crisis, Xu Erlang still visits frequently, which is inexplicably annoying.

Wang Simu squinted his second brother, Yingying got up, and said: "Tell him to the outer hall."

She patted the back of her mother's hand and walked straight away, passing through the inner courtyard, and walking through the winding corridor. Miss Wang met Xu Erlang in the living room.

He sits in a chair, hiding his face with his sleeves, shiningly hiding.

"What's wrong with Erlang?" Wang Simu probed his head for a while, but he avoided him.

"It doesn't matter..."

Xu Erlang said: "I'm here to give you something."

Speaking, the other finger pointed at the coffee table, and Wang Simu found a pile of letters on the coffee table.

Wang Simu opened the letter with curiosity and glanced at it a few times, his body trembled, and his beautiful eyes were full of shock.

"Here, where did Jiro get these secret letters?" She opened her small mouth slightly, her face turned pale.

"From my elder brother." Xu Erlang replied.

Xu Qi'an brought it there? He is Wei Yuan's confidant, how could he help my father.........Wang Simu's eyes turned, and then he looked at Xu Erlang's evasive appearance.

His heart suddenly sinks, and he splits his hands to open his sleeves.

"Ah..."

Wang Simu screamed.

Xu Erlang's cheeks were swollen, the bridge of his nose was bruised, and his lips were cracked. He looked like he was beaten up.

"Your older brother did it? Because, because of these secret letters?" Wang Simu's lips trembled.

"I fell by myself." Xu Erlang denied it.

Wang Simu's tears welled up, clattering, like broken pearls.

"He, he beat you like this..." Miss Wang couldn't cry.

The eldest brother's routine really works...Xu Erlang said with emotion, "I really fell by myself."

He didn't waste time and said: "These secret letters were given by the eldest brother, but he has the conditions. I need to talk to Master Shoufu in person."

Wang Simu took out the Jinpa from his sleeve, wiped away the tears, and looked at Xu Erlang's eyes full of love.

She nodded: "I will take you there."

...........

In the spacious study room, sandalwood curls and floats, and Wang Shoufu is holding the tea, his eyebrows are condensed.

Qian Qingshu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Chen Qi, a scholar of Jianjidian University, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and other confidants gathered together~IndoMTL.com~ with solemn expressions.

"Seeing what your Majesty means, in a few days, it will be our turn?" Qian Qingshu said solemnly.

Chen Qi, an academician of the Jianji Temple, had a grumpy temper and slapped the table angrily: "The Chuzhou Massacre case was originally the case of King Huai's madness. How can it be tolerated? The old man is too big to be an official."

The official secretary snorted coldly: "If you are an official, wouldn't you be in the arms of Qin?"

Wang Shoufu sat in the main seat, tasting fragrant tea, and silently listening to his colleagues arguing. The old man has been ups and downs for half his life, and has never been anxious.

Seeing that the quarrel subsided, Wang Shoufu asked: "What attitude is Wei Yuan over there?"

"I ate a closed door." Qian Qingshu was calm.

"No surprise." Wang Shoufu nodded: "Your Majesty still uses him, Wei Yuan's role is much stronger than ours."

The official secretary sneered: "Your Majesty will tolerate his dominance?"

Wang Shoufu drank a sip of tea, with a calm tone: "Many years ago, I felt that he was tired of fighting in the court and he wanted to regain control. If I didn't expect it wrong, King Huai's death was due to him." /

"Sun Shangshu, you are in charge of the Penalty Department, and you must check it well, and you must not allow Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to convict you."

Sun Shangshu nodded.

"Xu Shangshu, I know that you support and support the prince. I take this opportunity to contact other princelings."

The official secretary nodded.

Then, Wang Shoufu's tone was calm, and he looked around at the crowd: "There is nothing wrong with going to officialdom. It's better to retreat as a rapid stream. It's better than a bleak ending. Furthermore, you can get up after getting official. Gentlemen must learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and retreat when they retreat."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Simu's soft and pleasant voice sounded: "Father, my daughter has something to see."
